| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL.. I didn't expect that Shirou's father would be Saber's ex-Master. |
 |
| I kinda expected it. :D Oh well, nice ep. |
| I kind of knew it already :P I hope that they have planned enough content to fill those five episodes. |
| In the end, Caster was pretty much wtf pwned! Expected a bit more of her. So Shirou's father actually started the fire by destroying the grail? I'm not sure since the city was in flames already when Saber and the Archer fought. btw, is Sakura a sister of Rin gave to foster care or what? |

Rin wanted to protect her from the Holy Grail war,so send her away. But I don't really know to which person she was sent. |

| Rin seemed to recover pretty nicely from that stab considering she had used all of her crystals to attack. I suppose we can assume Saber healed her. |

| It's finally Emiya Shirou's turn to say something of sense to Saber "If you want to change who you are, then do something to change it now instead of going back to the past". That statement made quite an impact on me. Instead of she saying something to him whenever he says something naive like "wanting to become an ally of justice like his dad". Also, Shirou's ideals and idealized vision of his adopted dad has finally been shattered. How come no one else mentioned the incomplete Red Car that was going downhill at 20:22 in the episode? A victim of animation priorities. The battle scenes and other scenes were pretty good though. |
| Hm that eighth servant seems to be able to produce noble phantasms too. Shirou might be the one to face him in the end. Hope the last 5 episodes are gonna be nice |

| Wasn't expecting that.. |
 |
| Alright, a super powerful enemy whose power far eclipses 9000 emerges out of nowhere. There was a little suspense in the end however that was kinda nice, but I didn't really like the episode. |

| Am I the only one who think the new Archer looks awesome? XD. He pwned Caster so he gets kudos from me. lol |
 |
| Kinda sucked that Caster and the teacher went down so easily! The eight servant is gonna be tough to kill! |
     |
| Okay I'm confused.... Archer is Archer as the Archer Ms. Rin controlled?... No it's not the same... they might like similar, but man that's not the Archer we knew as Rin's Servant... First of all... This guy looks blodier.... and is more arrogant than Rin's Archer... Oh well... the first part of the episode was good... Especially when Saber defeated Assassin alias Sasaki Koujiro.... Oh man she was so awesome, evading all those slashes and in the end defeating the guy with a single swing of her Holy sword.... all against the Special move of Assassin Hisei, Tsubame Gaeshi... WOW Saber is so awesome!! And then we saw that Witch enjoying the pain and suffering of Sakura and Rin.. bastard... Too good Shirou fell from the sky and distracted Caster alias Medea, and in then end provoked her death... I thought she would die in a more... um... um... dramtic... not the word... her death was dramatic... hmmm.... In a more gruesome way... but... Our dear Archer the Second, alias Gilgamesh, really did it,,, never expected such guy to show up so suddenly... and easily kill a Servant too!! Sigh... I wonder if Shirou and co. will be able to take the Holy Grail in their hands... And the last third was really interesting.... Reviewing Saber's past was really interesting... I definitely liked what Shirou said to her... After all you can progress if you keep on looking back man!! He's so right.... Kirisugi was the previous Master of Saber? Ah yeh... I knew it... kinda felt it,... Well and it makes sense too!! If not then how the flying pan was possible that the guy (Shirou) was able to summon Saber huh? there has to be some reason... and that one is good enough for me :P Signs, Green |

The adversaries are always defeated out of some kind of magic or god knows what super power. It's become almost a pain to watch. I don't even understand about that non-sense of there being 8 servants. we have seen 5 only so far - so why would they assume there is an 8th.

We've seen lancer, assassin, rider, saber, berserker, caster and archer thats already 7 and that golden archer just appeared (8th servant) >.> i guess you haven't really been paying attention =\ |

The battle scenes and other scenes were pretty good though. I noticed something weird about that car but I was too lazy to go back and look at it in detail. Seems like Saber calmed her emotions around Emiya, but it could just be because of the situation they were in. |
Divine_Judgement said: Lancer just kinda disappeared from this series after the first or so episode. Also, Ilya disappeared. Yeah, I've been wondering where the hell Lancer was, too. Been expecting him to appear out of nowhere and kill someone... Oh, wait, the Golden Archer did that (in a very Deus ex machina way, too). |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| Yeah, golden Archer was pretty annoyingly deus ex machina. But apart from that this episode was awesome. Saber vs Assassin panned out very nicely, and she defeated his super attack in one blow. Pretty badass. Then there's a ton of backstory--it wasn't too surprising that Shirou's dad was Saber's previous master, but I wonder why he made her destroy the Grail. Also I'm glad that Shirou delivered a really nice line. Sure, he's still the super typical shounen main, but he's advanced quite a lot from his former whiny-ass self. I'm hoping Lancer makes a return some time soon, but that's rather unlikely I suppose. Wonder where this show's gonna go in 5 episodes. |
 |
| I had my thoughts about Shirou's father being the former master of Saber but destroying the Holy Grail... |
| Kiritsugu did what?! O.o Caster's death was pretty sad. :( Now that I read some commets, I realized that I completely had forgotten about Lancer. |
| I expected Caster to be a bit stronger but it was nice to see the servant looking out for the master like shirou does for Saber. Golden archer? That guy looks insanely powerful though. I guess Saber's previous master makes sense seeing as he was in the same place as Shirou but destroying the Grail, didn't see that coming... |

| How did the Grail appear if both Archer and Saber still remained? That had to be better explained in the VN. |
Hakuromatsu said: How did the Grail appear if both Archer and Saber still remained? That had to be better explained in the VN. It's simple, Gilgamesh isn't an actual real participant in this war. He was able to stay around because of the events of the previous Holy Grail war. Since, Saber was the only one left of 7 actual participants the Grail was summoned. At least, from what I remember that's how it is. |

Hakuromatsu said: The Grail doesn't need all six servants dead though this isn't properly explained in the Fate route which is what DEEN adapted. It really depends on the strenght of the servants defeated and all that... in a particular route in Stay Night the Grail appears even though Saber, Rider and Assassin were all still active and Archer's energy wasn't available for it (because someone else too it). The Grail appaears automatically in around 15 days after all seven servants are summonned and you can make a wish once there's enough energy in it (for a do-anything Grail you need all six and to open the Portal to the Root you need all seven).insan3soldiern said: Hakuromatsu said: How did the Grail appear if both Archer and Saber still remained?

| I still want to know where Lancer went.... he like doesnt exist anymore. It suprised me to find out Saber was Shiros fathers servent as well, also that he made her destroy the holy grail! thats crazy!!! she was probably pretty angry. It was weird how Caster died. I mean she seemed like such a powerful servent i expected alot more to happen with her but nope she just died. |
| Lancer was prob just pwned by some other servant while we weren't looking D=. |

| Great story in this episode really nice development and damn we've got to see Gilgamesh again :D He's so epic with all his swords! But damn I do hope Sakura will be fine! |
 |
| Here's the question you need to ask, what is the holy grail? And I guess Saber really did forget his name. |
 |
| What a load of crap. How could Saber not know who Gilgamesh is, when everyone in Zero knew. I start to think they didn't bother to even look at Fate/Stay night when they did Fate/Zero. |

Actually it is READ FSN first ,watch/read FZ later but anyway. FZ is the series that spoils EVERY plot twist of FSN. Except Archer's identity that is... |
| yeah finally the assassin is dead :3 nice fight saber XD and nice fight too shirou XD and finally our "archer" gilgamesh is show up XD damn I was wondering where he is all this time.. in the end kirei want saber live with him hehe.. looks like it is gonna be really interesting XD |
| Haha Gilgamesh just came in and pimp slapped Caster... |
| Hell yeah, Gilgamesh FTW! <3 I wonder what lame excuse they came with to kill him... =_= But well, at last one epic character apeared. Rin is pulling everything forward until now (as long as I don't know why she's helping Shirou at all? since she can't have the Grail anymore, right? XD). And when the hell will Ilya's identity be revealed? =_= As Saber couldnt just split it out... |
YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |

Well, but it was just one thought ;) Saber hates Kiritsugu and doesnt talk about him anyway.Saber really doesnt care about that,and why should she anyway?Even in the VN she barely gaves one hint about it which easily you disregard as casual talk. Ilya herself never tried to bring up that topic.Shirou realizes the truth alone...in another scenario but anyway. |
